Adding F_Ports to an N_Port

You can modify the default port mapping by adding F_Ports to an N_Port. Adding an F_Port to an
N_Port routes that traffic to and from the fabric through the specified N_Port.

You can assign an F_Port to only one primary N_Port at a time. If the F_Port is already assigned to
an N_Port, you must first remove it from the N_Port before you can add it to a different N_Port.

Use the following steps to add an F_Port to an N_Port.

1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role.

2. Enter the ag command with the

--

mapadd n_portnumber “f_port1;f_port2;... “operand to add

the list of F_Ports to the N_Port.

The f_portlist can contain multiple F_Port numbers separated by semicolons, for example
“17;18”.

switch:admin> ag --mapadd 13 "6;7"

F-Port to N-Port mapping has been updated successfully

3. Enter the ag

--

mapshow command and specify the port number to display the list of mapped

F_Ports. Verify that the added F_Ports appear in the list.

switch:admin> ag --mapshow 13
